and concerts in confinements musicians including coldplay around the world perform online for their fans who are stuck at home. i'm called aspen thanks for joining us the global death toll in the corona virus pandemic now stands at more than 11 and a half 1000 no other country is worse affected right now than it to leave with more than $4000.00 bias lost so far on friday the country recorded a staggering rise another $627.00 deaths that's the biggest single day increase anywhere since the pen demick began. doctors stretched

to the limit. patients gasping for air keep arriving but there aren't enough beds most of the really sick here and better gamo are elderly but medics warn young people they too are vulnerable. 50 percent of our patients in the i.c.u. which i'd be more severe. if the percent of our patients not only are 65 years old but their name yet if you go to say is younger than 6. 20 year there will. be a few. italy is racing to get temporary hospitals up and running this one has been opened by a u.s. charity in the northern city of cremona. we came here because our fellow brothers and sisters are italian brothers and sisters are hurting. the horrifying situation in the north is now being replicated in the south here in naples the streets are

empty but the hospitals are starting to fill up in that awful mother figures basically reflected that of lombardy 2 weeks ago the money for. residents from all surfaces they think might be susceptible to contamination. but no matter how much they clean nothing can remove the fear of infection. let's get the latest from italy correspondents joins us now from rome that death toll in italy we saw this huge jump on friday what's behind those numbers what are experts say. well kolya absolutely right it's a devastating blow really to have such a huge number of deaths just in the space of 24 hours and the experts health officials are saying well these figures these infections and deaths that you see are result of infections that happened before the lockdown mission was put into

place so we're only in day 11 now of the lockdown measure and you have to wait at least 2 beats to see whether that has an impact in the authorities or say when no where near the peak rate of infections just yet they expect it to come perhaps next week or maybe one week later that's what the head of it's of the civil protection services is saying but the infection that we the deaths and the number of high number of infections as well is a result basically of or in the down came to. as we heard a report half of patients there. that have been affected they're younger than age 65 are all age groups into lee taking the proper precautions. well that's what they're saying you know if you're young and healthy chances are could be a potential carrier of this infection and therefore you may feel fine or you may

have very very mild symptoms but you are still a carrier and you can say others those that are more fragile and young people are susceptible as well because you may be young but they have underlying health conditions more you could be have suffered in fiction elsewhere and so that can have an impact on your ability to fight this infection so they've put in place a series of measures now to see that lucius already put in place. a more controlled syria on the streets of rome the beaches near rome have also been shut is the weather gets better people might want to venture up say no to stay. young break in italy really has been centered in the north officials trying to keep and bear but are they worried now about a similar outbreak in the rest of the country we saw in the piece or where you are in rome. well exactly i mean here for instance we're hearing stories of further

little clusters for me in the region of last year where it's the capital of choice since we've heard of 59 not have been found to be positive with coke at 19 in 2 different convents one in broad and one just outside from a we're also hearing of the town of fundy now that's south of rome and that town particular is a bridge so now it's a great lockdown because they found several at least 50 people with positive infections are part of a group of elderly people who were celebrating carnival there a few weeks ago so as a result of this there is concern about the impact in the south it is not as well equipped in terms of its health facilities they are trying to go state up right now but of course we had that movement from north to the south just before the lockdown thought into place it was seen for instance in the region of coolie and the south a lot of the new infections happen to be the parents of those people that left the north and came down south so unfortunately days concern about further impact on the

south of the country as well ok day 11 of the markdown in italy correspondence you know good morning for us from rome thank you. well here in germany 2 states have now imposed restrictions on movement in the face of mounting infections those measures begin today the states of a varia that's germany's 2nd most populous state and saarland you see it there in germany southwest have announced an almost complete shutdown of public life for at least 2 weeks people are only allowed to leave their homes to work buy food or help relatives more than 20000 infections have been confirmed in germany so far and almost 70 people have died. among the closures of public spaces around the world is sydney's famous bondi beach thousands of people had gathered there in recent days ignoring coronavirus warnings. it's one of the world's most

famous beaches but boned by has turned into a battleground between revelers wanting to enjoy the sunshine and officials trying to prevent the spread of the coronavirus crowds on saturday morning exceeded the numbers allowed people also fail to observe the social distancing guideline of keeping 2 metres apart. what we saw this morning here a whole lot of age was the most irresponsible behavior on all the individuals that we've seen so far. these were the scenes as thousands headed to the beach on friday even some of those out enjoying the sunshine uneasy about the numbers. definitely not ideal. it is a worry because so many people all together and i do think the whole world is probably looking at us right now thinking of what a massive mistake that we're making i think people are taking advantage of the

whole way why they can and a lot of people being stuck indoors so they probably think that i will take my chances 1st when you know it's especially when i you know the beach really close proximity and we just need to be more conscious and aware of what we're doing. like other countries australia is seeing rising numbers of coronavirus deaths officials are warning that unless people pay the rules more beaches will be closed. well now a bit of positive news china has reported 0 boak lee transmitted cases for the 3rd straight day authorities say all 41 of the new confirmed cases were brought in from overseas after weeks of fighting the disease with tough measures china is now sharing its experience with the rest of world and providing much needed supplies. from being at the receiving end of coronavirus aid from other nations to helping the rest of the wells battle the disease china has its domestic outbreak largely

under control and is now supplying millions of mosques and other badly needed items to struggling governments around the globe beijing hopes the aid will help build political ties and diffuse criticism that it was too slow in tackling the outbreak . to people in china life is slowly been returning to something approaching normality though many restaurants and shops are still carrying out temperature checks on customers. in the capital beijing shoppers voiced confidence in government measures to reduce imported cases by isolating a rifles from abroad there's just so with you that so many people here i don't feel savory because right now this is standard approach to korean teaming the imported cases of corona virus and those who have come back from abroad so i'm not that more heat with that i would have the character mara. everyone is being very vigilant about those returning from overseas we absolutely must not let talk

god down we cannot allow rebound in case numbers and so put to waste the achievements we've made and the battles with one. visual. as the pandemic gulfs the rest of the world seems like this for a glimpse of how life can recover from the crisis. let's go to china now correspondent fog and crush my is standing by for us he is in beijing fabiani it sounds like little by little beijing and maybe the entire country starting super turn to normal is that fair to say. yes it's fair to say i would call it not normal but maybe the new normal i mean the streets are filled by people now i mean it's not as crowded as it used to be but let's say 67 percent at least people are also brave enough to take the subway they go to restaurants the shops are closing really

you can see the capital here waking up every day a little bit more but of course you have strict rules and restaurants for example they are only allowed to not to take. customers to cetera and most people are still wearing face masks so you they are cautious but yes they are really feeling more safe you know you can see in those pictures i mean pretty much everyone still wearing a face mask because theoretically there are still risks here right i mean we've heard there are still cases coming in from outside could all this increased movement lead to another outbreak. i mean that's the dilemma right now china becoming or turning into a virus free zone s. long s. they are keeping the restrictions tight in the restrictions are mostly for people coming from outside they have to go into centralized carrington stations that's really serious but as long as they keep this rule intact yes china could become basically virus free but as long as they relax or loosen up loosen up this

regulations of course the virus would spread immediately 5 incredible reporting in beijing where people beginning to come out of hibernation there thank you very much . all the concerts around the world scrapped for months to come many artists are now taking to the internet to host free performances for their fans a special series has been initiated by global citizen and the world health organization to raise awareness about the spread of corona. casual and much more intimate than a concert hall around the world artists are looking to connect with their fans over there in performances broadcast from their living rooms via social media. and now we're going to play some songs. and i'll play a couple of the new guys requests some and play the game see if shirley can play that card thing is such as charlie post and john legend are among the i list
